What You Need to Know About Benefit Legislation

Local First Arizona is thrilled that Arizona recently passed legislation authorizing benefit corporations, a new class of corporation for all businesses that seek to create a positive impact on society, as well as a positive return for investors. If your business is thinking of structuring as a benefit corporation, or if you want to learn if its the right fit, we encourage you to take part in our free webinar with Holly Ensign Barstow, Policy Associate at B Lab and Yvonne Moss and Mackenzie Woods, both of Phoenix based Carter Law Group. Holly will be giving a review of what B Lab does and why they developed the new corporate form. Yvonne and Mackenzie will be going over how Arizona businesses can register as a benefit corporation, how benefit legislation differs from conventional corporations and how doing so will effect you. Join us and get involved in this growing movement to redefine success in business!When: Monday, November 17 from 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. There will be time for Q&A.

We'd love to see a strong showing of Arizona businesses who become benefit corporations on January 2, 2015 as this poses an opportunity for us to highlight the Arizona mission-driven business community. Please email [email protected] if your business is going to make the change to a benefit corporation so that we can be sure to highlight you.
